JAKARTA - Vladimir Putin spoke with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan by telephone about Russia's special military operations in Ukraine. Putin explained to Erdogan what was really happening in Ukraine.

To Erdogan, Putin also refuted western media narratives that said Russia was overwhelmed by the Ukrainian resistance. All full-scale military operations currently underway are proceeding as scheduled.

The resume of this conversation was issued by the Kremlin which can be accessed freely by the public on Monday, March 7.

Putin said the Russian Armed Forces were making every effort to save lives and ensure the safety of civilians. He guarantees to carry out precise strikes exclusively on military infrastructure facilities.

Putin said the actions of the nationalist and neo-Nazi units, which continued the intensive shooting of the Donbas and the use of civilians, including foreigners who had actually been taken hostage, as human shields in Ukrainian cities, showed certain cruelty and cynicism.

Russia is open to dialogue

Putin is also ready to open himself up to dialogue with the Ukrainian authorities. Including foreign partners to resolve conflicts.

But all will be in vain -- said Putin if the Ukrainian security forces continued to regroup their troops and weapons. Putin said special operations could only be stopped if Kyiv ceased hostilities and complied with Russia's requirements, which Russia already knew.
